The specialized monitoring team of the Culture and Social Affairs Committee of the Provincial People's Council worked at Dien Bien Road Construction Joint Stock Company I.

At Dien Bien Road Construction Joint Stock Company I, as of the end of the first nine months of 2023, 47 employees participated in social insurance, health insurance, and unemployment insurance. When employees signed labor contracts, the company promptly and fully registered them for these insurance schemes as required by law. The creation and management of records, books, and documents for tracking, processing, and paying sick leave, maternity leave, and convalescence benefits for employees are clearly and transparently reflected in the company's payroll and attendance records; records are stored in both printed and soft copy formats. However, due to the difficult business and production situation, the company frequently delayed paying social insurance, health insurance, and unemployment insurance contributions for its employees during the period of 2021-2023. In 2023, the company owed over 660 million VND, but as of September 30th, only 350 million VND had been paid…
